1 Our lives begin to end, the day we become silent about things that matter. Martin Luther King Jr. "We have come to worship him." V.2 "On coming to the house they bowed down and worshiped him " V.11 worship / proskuneo / to acknowledge the worth of " they presented him with gifts of gold, and of incense and of myrrh. V.11 I. GOLD / DEITY In the beginning was the Word, and Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 The Word became flesh and lived for a while among us John 1:14 No one has ever seen God, but God the Only Son, who is at the Father s side, HAS MADE HIM KNOWN. John 1:18 KJV hath declared him AMP He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He has made Him known] NLT He has revealed God to us. MESS has made Him plain as day. exegeomai / unfold for the purpose of understanding

3 III. MYRRH They also made the sacred anointing oil Ex. 37:29 NIV / sacred anointing oil KJV / holy anointing oil qodesh / consecrated, dedicated, hallowed, sacred, set apart mishchah / smear, rub, paint, cover (act of) Then use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony, the table and all its articles, the lamp stand and its accessories, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand. You shall consecrate them so they will be most holy and whatever touches them will be holy. Ex. 30:26-29

4 EVERYTHING CONNECTED WITH THEIR PLACE OF WORSHIP WAS TO BE ANOINTED Anoint Aaron and his sons and CONSECRATE THEM SO THEY MAY SERVE AS PRIESTS. Say to the Israelites, This is to be my sacred anointing oil for the generations to come. Ex. 30:30-31 aleipho / perfume something chrio / smear, rub with oil, consecrate to an office Christos / Christ Messias / Messiah The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, Look, the Lamb of God! When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, What do you want? They said, Rabbi (which means teacher), where are you staying? Come, he replied, and you will see. So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was about the tenth hour. Andrew, Simon Peter s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, We have found the Messiah (that is the Christ). John 1:35-41 MYRRH / POSITION OF PRIEST For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Heb. 2:17

5 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who as been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to hep us in our time of need. Heb. 4:14-16 For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever. The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man. Heb. 7:23-8:2 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. Such a high priest truly meets our need one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. GOLD / DEITY INCENSE / SWEET MYRRH / PRIEST
